Dark Plot of Future Lab -Sequel

<<The Story So Far>> One day late at night, a murder case occurred at the Future Lab in Shinagawa. The victim was Tetsuo Takahashi (? age). He was hit heavily on the head and was found face down at his desk the following morning.
Confidential material was carried away and a mysterious man named "Y" became engaged in secret maneuvers.
Can three useless detectives who are speeding in all sorts of nonsense directions work out the real truth?

Yamamoto:
"Oh my gosh!! Boss!"

Takenaka:
"What is it, Yama?"

Yamamoto:
"I have found some suspicious information! This is the one!"



Nagamatsu:
"Opinion Box…?"

Yamamoto:
"The data inside are the collection of opinions sent from players across the country. While I was checking the opinions, I found mountains of postings saying, 'The criminal is Maeda!'!"

Nagamatsu:
"I told you sooooooo! That's exactly what I told you! Boss, the criminal is Maeda!"

Yamamoto:
"Wai, …senior…"

Takenaka:
"Let's see, hmmm." (reading opinions)

'The criminal is Maeda.' 'The criminal should be Maeda.' 'The criminal's…got to be Maeda.'
…well…
'The criminal is MA·E·DA!'


……hmmm?


…'The criminal is Maepa (laughs)'!?"


Nagamatsu:
"Ma, Maepa!!!"

Takenaka:
"Again. Here is again…Maepa's shadow. Do you know what this means? Yama-!"

Yamamoto:
"What? Tha, that was pointed out in only one opinion, wasn't it? I mean, instead, Mae…"

Takenaka:
"Listen hard, Yama. Finding one drop of truth in mountains of disinformation. That is exactly what a detective is about!!"

Nagamatsu:
"Hai-yaa!! Boss! I'll go out to get more information!! You come with me!"

Yamamoto:
"WHAT!??"

Slam. Clump clump…


Takenaka:
"Weeell, now it's quiet. Let's see, hmmm, there are many funny postings."

♦…Tetsuo's ghost is too much like a trash fish. I think he should try a little harder.
"Tetsuo was a trash fish…Poor thing."

♦ Please let the Fun Fun Lion Bus out!
"What, what's the fun fun something bus?"

♦ Please tell us about another hidden car!
"What's that…hidden car? Uh? Isn't this…what it is? Here, it says 'Hidden Car 3DX? Confidential File.'
Let's see. Celsior (owner-driven taxi spec.). Hmmm. Atenza (driving school car spec.). Gosh, that's really bizarre. The next car is…umm, Maeda's…"


??? Fling.

Thud!!

Takenaka:
"Uh? When did I fall asleep…Somehow my head hurts."


…Ummm? Maeda…is it.



Who the heck was it?"



Without any more steps forward, everything vanishes into the darkness. Does a day of hope rise again…



*On the weekend of September 9 (Sat.), at the 47th Amusement Machine Show, the "2009 JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP - FINAL" will be held in Makuhari Messe! It's the summit showdown for the super players who have been participating in long and grueling tournaments. Who's gonna be crowned as the fastest in Japan?


Are there only players who have dropped out and who are left out?
Isn't there any winner at all?

None of the above is correct. The name of the player who will win this battle must be inscribed as a winner as well as given the title, "the fastest," in the hearts of all the Wangan runners!

Soon, the biggest race for No. 1 in Japan will be determined.
Don't miss this battle!!
